This post may go unseen but hopefully someone sees and spreads it. For four years I have attended this school and been a "gull". This term seems to be synonymous with community and belonging but I'm here to tell you it is not. Four years of watching this school fall to the depths of hell have proven this fact. Things have changed drastically since my first year, where, admittedly, I enjoyed myself and was excited to be attending. This has changed however. This school has made an active effort to get rid of many activities that were promised to be some of the main attractions. Groove Boston is a thing of the past. Spring week has turned into a sad remnant of what it once was. However, I'll concede that I can deal with this since I hardly find time to go to these things anyway.

What really is the issue that I wish to speak of is the blatant disinterest in student opinion or student well being. Our dear President Wylie makes people believe that there is a strong stance against drugs and alcohol on this campus which I'm sure mnay of you reading can attest is not true. Just a few days prior to this post, a young man was lost due to a drunk driving incident. His loss is a tragedy but also a learning opportunity. We have learned a good deal about the falsehood and fake identity. My sources have told me that Good Wylie mispronounced the name of this young man several times at the memorial. Clearly does not care and used this sad moment to promote our so called community. What's worse is the people who falsely promoted themselves as having known the man who died when in reality they only wanted to make themselves look good. You see this everywhere. Odyssey articles claim that being a gull is what is important. That is what must be learned from the incident. Wrong. Being a gull is meaningless because it's an empty claim. The drinking will continue. The incidents will continue. Why? Because our glorious higher-ups don't care. Campus Safety will hardly ever make time for you. Res life and student affairs will never answer your emails. Dear friends of mine are afraid to be in their dorm because they are mistreated and made to feel like outsiders by psycho party people in their dorm and Campus safety doesn't come when asked. The incidents will continue because of this lack of commitment to student safety.

I know someone from the administration may see this and try to find me. But know this. I am not alone. I have heard the complaints, the dissent. You have ignored your students too long and treated them like currency machines. You deny free speech. Those of you reading who feel as I do, don't be afraid to speak out. We've all heard the stories of what happens behind the scenes. Show them we know. Make a change.
